2008 Formica® brand laminate Introduction
What’s new for 2008
Formica Corporation launches 12 stone and quartz looks under its new Radiance finish, as well as six stone looks under its popular Etchings and Honed finishes.
About Radiance finish
High gloss and punctuated with texture, the new Radiance finish features holographic facets that refract and reflect light in a natural veined pattern.
Radiance also has the ProFormance® treatment — giving it greater wear, mar and scratch resistance over traditional laminate.
New Mineral Series
with Radiance finish
The Mineral Series finds inspiration in the earth’s naturally occurring quartz and mica compositions and recreates them in six organic colors with a “crystalline” structure.
• Mineral Ochre–rich yellow dappled with warm earthy browns and sunlit gold.
• Mineral Sepia–warm browns and gold, highlighted with subtle copper undertones.
• Mineral Olivine–olive-green with warm taupe, highlighted by russet brown and green-black crystals.
• Mineral Umber–warm reddish brown with rich cocoa and dusky black.
• Mineral Jet–mix of black and dark browns with warm brown pyrite-inspired highlights.
• Mineral Sienna–iron red and clay blended with the rich brown-black.
Granite Series
with Radiance finish
The Granite Series features small crystals and large, sweeping veining to mirror the random variation found in natural granite.
• American Rose Granite–rose tones balanced with cool grays harmonize with cherry woods.
• Brazilian Brown Granite–sumptuous browns and smoke gray complement mocha stained wood work.
• Venetian Gold Granite–rich gold and warm brown highlighted against creamy white look contemporary with oak and maple cabinets.
